Summary

Data structures and algorithms are crucial in developing efficient software. By understanding and leveraging the data structures discussed in this chapter, you will have the full power of C++20 to make your programs run faster. It's not a secret that a programmer with strong problem-solving skills is more desired in the market. Problem-solving skills are gained first of all by deeply understanding the fundamental algorithms and data structures. As you've seen already in this chapter, leveraging a binary search algorithm in searching tasks makes the code run much faster compared to its sequential alternative. Efficient software saves time and provides a better user experience, which eventually makes your software an outstanding alternative to existing ones.

In this chapter, we have discussed fundamental data structures and their differences. We learned to use...
